Brain Tumours: Causes and Treatment

Contribution

My Lords, being diagnosed with a brain tumour is devastating not only for the person involved but for their family. As my noble friend Lord Sharpe said, brain tumours can lead to memory loss, cognitive changes and reduced physical ability. Those symptoms are sometimes not picked up beforehand, but even when someone is diagnosed with a brain tumour those very symptoms sometimes lead to misunderstandings among friends and family members, and can lead to isolation. Given this, can the Minister outline what steps NHS England and the department are taking to raise awareness among families and friends of all the symptoms and side-effects of brain tumours, so we can avoid those misunderstandings and ensure that the patient continues to receive care from their loved ones?
